Do you know that these Singers do not touch an instrument while recording but they are good arranging a song with mimics and their voices? They even tell guitarists what to do and how to play  ;D ;D ;D. Madilu (RIP), Kester (RIP), Papa Wemba, Evoloko Joker, JB Mpiana, etc. I’ve seen Papa Wemba playing acoustic guitar but he never plays when recording (he is not good).
Yes, there is a language they use in congolese music when describing to an instrument how they want an instrument played it's kind of funny, you hear words like ''tundi dodo didido tundi'' ;D ;D Listen to Reddy Amisi correcting his guitarist here,listen how he asks the guitarist to play pilepopopo, pololololol pilololopepe pololilololiloliloli'' at Min 5:17  kiekiekie,my friends in London do the same when they are criticising each other after their shows especially if one made a mistake on the notes.
Min 5:17

Very funny!  ;D ;D ;D. I heard Maika Munan saying that Singers should stop doing that...he doesn't like that.

He can't stop them, they have to add their own input to the their products so they have the right to correct the arrangers where they feel the arranger had not understood their concept.

I dig up an old subject. I never understood what an arranger was so I would have liked to know what an arranger is, what is it and what does it do ? And also a programmer ?
